Spies. He said that he understood II
would be urged by the counsel on the
other side that they being foreigners.
Fielden an Englishman and Spies q
German, were protected by treaties
between the United States and their
respective governments, and that they
would have immunity because the
treaties provided that citizens of Eng
land Germany living in the United
States should have all the rights and
privileges guaranteed by law to citi-
zens of the United States at the time
the treaties were ratified.
Chief Justice--In what respect is it
said that this violates the citizenship
OF Great Britain?
General Butler: They were to have
the privilege of Americans at the date
OF the treaties, and among those priv
lleges, we contend, was trial by jury
under the laws then in force. No law
could be passed to change their con-
dition under the law--the highest law.
Attorney General Hunter replied
that if this were so, then the prisoners
were privileged persons above the
avs of the state, which they set at
defiance.
At this point the hour for adjourn
nent arrived, and further argument
vas postponed until tomorrow.

here for years, having been appointed
under a Republican administration,
and holding his place under the new
Democratic chief.
AMOUNT OF THE DEFALCATIoN.

which nearly II ,000,0 900 acres remain
unsurveyed, has been retarded by that

ervations, etc.

OF $4,000. ~t..
Labor is hardly equal to the de-
mand.

Great Bravery of Superintendent
Gates--A Narrow Escape.
Special to the HERALD.
A desperate but unsuccessful break
was made from the penitentiary at 8
o'clock this morning. Superintendent
Gates was leaving the prison by way
of the north sally-port when Librado
Pueblo pinioned his arms behind him
and marched Gates out before him
into the yard between the Office and
the prison. Seven other convicts fol-
lowed, one Of whom, lose lopez,
rushed into the office, forced open
desk and secured revolver, and re-
turned shooting at the guards. Upon
orders from Gates, Guard 3. J. Hare
lee fred, woundins the man holding
the Superintendent, upon which
Pueblo stabbed Gates. Convict Lopez
was shot down, and his pistol was im-
mcdiately taken by Barney Riggs, a
life timer, who rushed in and killed
L u0DiO do n0 Wdb tti hlHS ~ ClSItt
inch knife on the wounded officer.
Riggs regardless of danger thea car
ried Gates into the house. In the
meantime Harelee shot another con-
vict as he ran down the road. Whilst
this was going on Guard Reynolds
was pumping lead from his station,
and Guard Fredley grappled with one
of the convicts, falling down an en-
bankment twenty feet.
RESULT OF THE ENCOUNTER.
Three prisoners were killed; two
dangerously wounded and three un-
hurt; none escaped. When Gates
was in the clutches OF the convict,
Pueblo warned him that if he called
out he would kill him. Regardless OF
the threats Gates bravely ordered the
guard to fire. Harelce is well known
in Los Angeles as one of the captors
of Vasquez. Gates is dangerously
wounded; the wound is in the right
shoulder blade, cutting the right lung,
but hopes are entertained for his re-
covery. All the prisoners attempting
to escape were Mexicans.

SAN Francisco, October 27.-Mrs.
Clara Belle Mcdonald was given a
preliminary examination in the police
court this morning on the charge of
assault to murder her father-in-law

aid was released this afternoon on
bonds secured by her attorneys.
TWO DEMuRRERs FILED.
Both Clara Belle Mcdonald and
her father-in-law, X. II. Mcdonald,
filed demurrers to-day. The former
demurred to the complaint of her
husband, charging her with having
unlawful connection with Augustus
Seneca Swain, at various times and
places. She says that the charge is
too indefinite to answer.
THE OTHER SIDE.

grounds upon which to demur to her
complaint, in which she asks for
100000 for his cruel and malicious
treatment of her. The demurrer
states that plaintiff has not shown by
her actions during the past year that
she cared particle whether or not
she ever had the society, comfort or
protection which the presence of her
husband would give her.

Camps, Veterans of Mary
land, line volunteer infantry,
Virginia and North Carolina artillery,

thusiasm of the people was given vent
to by almost incessant cheers.

monument grounds it was raining so
hard that it was decided to postpone
the reading of the poem and delivery
of the grafton until this evening. The
corner stone OF the Lee monument,
however, was laid with impressive
Masonic ceremony. Notwithstanding
the disagreeable weather about 20, 600
people witnessed the ceremony.

near Lake Guzman and Corralitos
were not by Indians, but by renegade
Mexicans disguised. The raids of the
Apaches have been so disastrous in
times past that the report that they
